My background in publishing, digital marketing and running Modern Parlance has given me the knowledge and skills necessary to build and manage content initiatives across both traditional and online channels. I've worked with clients from a wide range of industries – financial services, consumer goods, education, telecommunications and the arts; from multinational giants to non-profits, from individuals to professional services organizations.

As detail-oriented professional, problem-solver, with outstanding organizational and people skills, I will meet your goals and exceed your expectations.

As senior producer at two fast-growing marketing design firms in NYC, I guided a challenging series of projects for client in industries including consumer goods, publishing, entertainment and technology among others - projects that always met and exceeded client expectations upon completion. I have also served as marketing and interactive consultant in a variety of industries including but not limited to telecom, consumer retail, sports and gaming and non-profit sectors.

My time in marketing departments at both scholarly and trade publishers has shown me how to reach the consumer market as well as how to craft targeted strategies to increase adoptions of academic titles in college market. These efforts include, but are not limited to, the design and execution of direct mail and advertising campaigns, creation of promotional materials, presentations at sales conferences, serial rights negotiation, book club sales and management of company presence at exhibits and conferences.

Computer Skills

I am thoroughly comfortable in both PC and Macintosh environments and have experience with an extensive array of software.

Having managed the development and maintenance of database-driven sites, content management systems, e-commerce initiatives, client-server environments, intranets, and extranets, I have the skills needed to manage web-based projects of all sizes and scopes. In addition, this past experience means that I bring a thorough knowledge of web applications and environments, internet industry best practices, and technology trends to any project team.

After over 25 in New York, I headed off for the UK. My adventures in being bi-locational have expanded the reach of the Greater Gotham blog from New York to more transatlantic coverage. The London Underground, which I love, I knew inside and out - train service beyond London was a shock.

Greater Gotham started out as the virtual version of getting out and about in the city â€“ and beyond, an arm chair guide to that process of discovery and being at the center of events but it sometimes gets pretty darned cold in NYC.
